Dan fish, who drives wagon for

his fellow-drivers as much as he did.
He has been fortunate enough not to
be run away with until yesterday
afternoon, when he took his turn with
them. He was at the slaughter
house, when for. some unexplained
reason, his team became panic-strick-
en- and ran away. He was thrown
out, and his collar bone broken,
several ribs cracked and his body rem
dered black and blue. When picked
up he was senseless and had to be

A Bad Dog.

A little son of Mr.. Short, who
lives at Eighteenth and Ohio streets,
while passing along the sidewalk in
front of Mr.. Shumann's residence, in
that locality, yesterday afternoon, was
bitten in the wrist by dog belonging
to Shumann. The animal is a vic
ious shepherd, dangerous to run
loose. The boy'a wound is a painful
one. Officer Barrett was notified, and
went to the house to kill the brute,
but was unsuccessful, as the owners
hurried the dog into the house, where,
of course, the officer would not go to
execute his mission. 1t is said that
the Shumanns own two bad boys, and
refuse to pay license for them. Such
dangerous animals should not be per-
mitted to run at large, imperiling the
safety aud even the life of an innocent
wayfarer, las in the little boys case

AN Ak
And A Long Chase For A Coon

Last Wednesday afternoon Ed.
Morton and his wife, who live in
Georgetown, went fishing, having
first fastened their humble dwelling
securely. They returned about sun
down and found the front door had
been forced open. and after they had
locked around a while, discovered
that an ak, which usually stood in
corner behind a big box was missing.
The man and wife put their heads to-
gether and when they parted them,
the conclusion arrived at was that
Edward Matthews had removed the
instrument of chopping.
Edward had boarded with the
Mortons and when he left was indebt-
ed to them. Morton took an ak and
a corn-knife as part pay for the debt.
This was last spring, and the ak stood
grimly up in the corner, behind the
big box, until that fateful Wednes-
day afternoon when the family went
fishing.
Morton yesterday afternoon saw
Matthews down on Main street, be-
tween Ohio and Lamine and he has
tened to Squire Fisher where he made
complaint. A warrant was hastily
prepared and Deputy Constable Ed
wards accompanied the bereaved man
to the locality, to have Matthews
pointed out and be duly arrested.
But Matthews saw Morton and
the officer, and ran. He fled
across lots to the railroad, with Ed
wards close in pursuit, but the con-
stable has "game" left foot, and his
velocity was retarded thereby. Mat
thews sped up the track, past the de-
pot, north on Moniteau, thence toward
the brewery and the prairie beyond.
Edwards lost sight of his man at the
brewery and gave up the chase.
Chief of Police jackson had joined
in the race after the fleeing negro,
but, wisely, in a buggy with George
Romans, the livery stable man. He
followed him up to beyond the brew
cry WucIC HC IClb AAS UOSSy, aAu
plunged across hedge fence. The
darkey ran hot and fast along the
hedge, and Capt. Jackson followed
about as hot if not quite so
fast. He lost sight of him at
one place, and in getting through
barb wire fence, mangled his pants
seriously. He was holloaed to by
Romans that the negro was still
somewhere near the hedge, so Jack
son followed it up and presently found
his man tagged out, curled up under
the thick foliage of the natural barri-
er near John Banks place. Jackson
gathered him in and marched him
back to town, where he was taken be-
fore Esq. Fisher.
The trial did not last long, and
Matthews was fined So and costs for
petit larceny. He went to Jail.
